Man knocked over by taxi in Ashford still fighting for his life
A man who was knocked down by a taxi and dragged
under the vehicle is still fighting for his life in a London
hospital.
The 26-year-old man, from Maidstone, was in the middle of
Station Road, Ashford, near the AMF Bowling Centre, when he was hit
by a taxi at about 4.50am on Saturday, December 22.
The man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and
is now said to be in a stable, but critical condition.
Kent Police said CCTV images showed the man - slim with dark
brown cropped hair and a beard - was unsteady as he tried to slow
cars and get inside.
Police crash investigators are appealing for two motorists, who
were in front of the taxi and were approached by the man, to come
forward.
Their cars - both travelling towards Ashford international
station - were a people carrier, thought to be a Ford Galaxy and a
Peugeot 406 estate.
Kent Police are appealing for the two drivers, or anyone else
who might have seen the collision, to phone Claire Russell Thomas
on 01622 798 538 or Scott Lynch on 07980 683 875.
